What's on in Paris

Exploring

Paris is a shopper's paradise. Whether it's elegant designer boutiques you're looking for, or great vintage garments, avant garde design, fine foodstuffs, art, antiquities or an unusual souvenir, Paris has it all!

Montmartre has kept much of the charm of the village it once was. Trendy design boutiques rub shoulders with wine merchants, art galleries, antique dealers, bric à brac and curio stores, all best discovered by wandering casually around the narrow streets of this vibrant neighbourhood.

The world-famous Printemps and Galeries Lafayette department stores, where you can find designer fashion, accessories, beauty products and items for the home, are just a 15-minute walk from the Terrass Hotel.

For lovers of antiques (furniture, jewellery, tableware, books and all kinds of collectors' items), the flea market (Puces de Saint-Ouen) is an absolute must. With over 2,000 stands and stores, it represents the biggest concentration of antique dealers in the world.
